Hi,
I got it going. I used the quotes before and after the command. I removed them and everything went fine!
Thanks

 Chanikya,

On one of my Linux boxes, I can run the run-parts executable to have it process the crontab entries but I feel Dan is correct and perhaps there's something wrong with your crontab entry.   Maybe try passing the full path to the curl executable to see if anything changes?   Also, for troubleshooting purposes, perhaps you could redirect the output to some file, just to see if there's any error messages being thrown, maybe something like this:

0 6 * * 1-5 /usr/bin/curl --silent http://192.168.3.201/30000/15%c2%a02>&1 >/home/youruserdir/cronoutput.log
or something similar.

This is unlikely to be a curl problem. Is the curl binary in the standard
location (/usr/bin/curl)? Is the system time zone what you assume, given the
times in the crontab? Does the command work if run on the command-line?
Do you have crond installed and running?
